One of my two current Lexus cars, the other is a 62k mile 06 LS430 I don't have good pictures of but will make it a point I get a bunch of next time I'm around it.

We have also had 2 1999 RX300s, an 01 and an 03 as well as my first personal Lexus/flagship car in general an 02 LS430 pictured below when I sold it at 285k miles







Bonus pic from the 2nd most annoying failure the car had!

The 02 has the distinction of being the car that made me like cars and also my all time best time record for a OH->FL trip at 10 hours 28 minutes during covid. We did 130-160 the majority of the way and it was simply awesome other than the massive paint damage behind the wheels!

Yes! I’ve had these in this order and still own a few:

-1993 SC300
-2005 LS430 Ultra Luxury
-2009 LS460 (had briefly before giving it back to my job)
-2001 ES300
-1999 ES300
-2009 GX470
-2001 GS300
-2004 GS300
-2022 GX460

I’m hoping to replace the 2001 GS300 with a black SC430 at some point. I’ve been considering getting something newer like an early LC500 or 2020+ RC-F as well.

First one, 2025 TX350. Not liking it so far, but I'll give it another 10,000 miles before I give it to one of my kids if it doesn't work out.

no i do not own a lexus since i cannot drive but 42000 miles is basically brand new those things run forever so keeping it with such low mileage means it will hold its value perfectly a pristine garage queen like that is definitely something you should hold onto

If I call you "daddy" in 10,000k miles... do I get to be on the hand-me-down list?

Something I would really like to have is a diesel LX from the 100 series with a manual trans, I would keep that as a forever SUV

2022 GX460. Slow-ish, thirsty, full of personality, a brute but it feels special and tugs at the heart strings.

08 LS460 likely as close to base model as possible. Bought 10.24 @96k miles. Currently 109k. My daily driver and only vehicle.

Default Yes I own one

I own one and worth noting the Lexus has a lot less wind noise than my motorcycle.
